Problem with Windows 7 Intel 965 GMA drivers!

idata — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:22:13 GMT

There is some problem with the drivers available for Intel 965 X3100 chipset. In both default drivers with Windows 7 as well as the driver available on Intel site, the problem arises. I'm using Windows RC. I'm not able to get fullscreen while playing games, the aspect ratio is stuck. I get two black borders on both side. As my laptop screen is 15.4 inch wide, the game or any fullscreen application like a powerpoint presentation, the black borders arise.

As we cant change the aspect ratio option in default drivers, so I installed the new drivers from the site. In the options the option in selected as fullscreen(no margin) but it doesn't work. I tried to change the option to any other selection like Center, but the option does not change, its stuck at the middle option for Fullscreen(No border) but nothing happens.

I'm unable to get fullscreen! Please help out how to solve this issue.

The Only solution to the problem is to install the latest Vista Drivers in Windows 7. I'm presently using the vista drivers to rectify the problem. I hope Intel soon fixes this problem in the newest win7 drivers.

Here it is: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/17407/a08/winvista_15124.exe&DwnldId=17407&lang=eng

Just download it and install it. Fullscreen problem is solved. There is no performance change in windows 7 due to vista drivers. So its better to use this driver as it solves the fullscreen problem.

After installing if you still don't get fullscreen , go to graphics properties, then select display settings, then click aspect ratio options. There select Fullscreen(no border).
